Chemistry across multiple length scales
At the end of 2024, we were delighted to welcome two new members to our group, Joe and Heng-Yu, who have joined us as JSPS postdoctoral fellows. We hope they enjoy the winter in Kyoto and find excitement in the research they are about to undertake. 2024年末、私たちのグループに新しいメンバーが2名加わりました。ジョー（Joe）とヘンユー（Heng-yu）は、JSPSポスドクフェローとして参加しました。 京都の冬を楽しむとともに、これから取り組む興味深い研究にやりがいを感じてもらえれば幸いです。
Tina joined our group in November 2023 and has now got an Assistant Professor position in University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. During her time with us, she demonstrated excellent planning and worked tirelessly on her research, achieving impressive results and preparing a paper for publication. Beyond her research, she brought positivity and joy to our…
For colloidal gels, the gel network determines their mechanical properties. Our group has now developed a light-sensitive gel that can alter the composition of its network when exposed to light of a specific wavelength, significantly enhancing its mechanical properties. This achievement was made possible thanks to our outstanding postdoctoral researcher, David, who shed light on…
Our group members participated in the 74th Conference of Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC) this year. Both oral and poster presentations were excellent, and our outstanding student Ayana Miyata (M2) recived the Oral Presentations Award!! Congratulations!! 当研究室のメンバーが2024年の第74回日本錯体化学会（JSCC）年会に参加しました。口頭発表もポスター発表も素晴らしい内容で、M2の宮田 彩名さんが優秀な成績を収め、口頭発表賞を受賞しました！おめでとうございます！！
Small forces can accumulate into great forces. Even weak van der Waals forces, when accumulated, can support a gecko crawling on a wall. This concept also applies to supramolecular chemistry, where dispersed molecular cages can assemble into highly stable structures through the accumulation of van der Waals forces. We call these structures "WaaFs". This idea…
We are pleased to announce three undergraduate students joining our group and ready to dive into research. Over the next year, Atsuto Okubo, Kazuma Hata, and Ryoma Terada will conduct experiments and explore the world of research. Hopefully this will be a year full of discovery and enjoyment for them! この度、三名の学部生がグループに加わり、研究を開始する準備が整いました。これから一年間、大久保温人、畑知磨、寺田涼真の三人は実験を行い、研究の世界を探求していきます。彼らにとって、発見と楽しさに満ちた一年になることを願っています！ 大久保温人 Atsuto Okubo (left),…
Like the blossoming cherry trees of April, our research has borne results. With great joy, we announce the publication of two papers in Inorganic Chemistry. The first paper is from Fuerkaiti Tayier, about the synthesis of three new RuMOPs and the calculation of the number of transferred electrons. This is also Tayier’s first first-author paper.…
Today we held the undergraduate defense, congratulations to Ryohe and Tetsuji! Their publications are excellent and well above what we expect from undergraduate students, and they have shown potential to become excellent researchers. Everyone in our group has witnessed their growth. Whether in school or employment, we hope they can continue to showcase their talents.…
Outstanding master's students Shun and Kotoha completed their master's defense today. The defense was excellent, above the master's level. Shun plans to continue research as a Ph.D., and before that he will conduct research in our group as a post-master researcher for a period of time. We hope Shun can enjoy this post-master time and…
Our research on the controlled NO release from RhMOP and coordination polymer particles (CPPs) has been published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry B!! Thanks to all the authors for their tremendous contribution!! This work is also Thiago's first paper during his Ph.D. program, congratulations!! The exogenous administration of nitric oxide (NO) is considered a…
